Funding to support education for researchers on child, teen and family health disparities

The College of Nursing and Health Innovation Center for Improving Health Outcomes in Children, Teens & Families at Arizona State University has received a grant from the Hearst Foundations to fund pre- and post-doctoral fellowships with emphasis on research to address health disparities experienced by children, teens and families.

Bonnie Gance-Cleveland, PhD, RNC, PNP, FAAN, director of the Center for Improving Health Outcomes for Children, Teens & Families, says the goal of the fellowships is to support qualified ethnic and racial minority fellows, who will work with center faculty to focus on reducing health disparities in maternal/child populations.

Hearst Foundations Fellows must commit to teach in graduate and undergraduate academic nursing programs in the United States after completion of the fellowship. The fellowships are for one and two-year terms.

The Hearst Foundations are national philanthropic resources for organizations and institutions working in the fields of education, health, culture and social service. The Foundations’ goal is to ensure that people of all backgrounds have the opportunity to build healthy, productive and inspiring lives.
